2 Samuel 1
1 After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
Poslije Šaulove smrti David se vratio kući pobijedivši Amalečane. Dva je dana proveo u Siklagu.
2 on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.
Trećega dana dođe neki čovjek iz Šaulova tabora, razdrtih haljina i prahom posute glave. Došavši k Davidu, baci se na zemlju i pokloni mu se.
3 David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
David ga upita: “Odakle dolaziš?” A on mu odgovori: “Umakao sam iz izraelskog tabora.”
4 David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
A David ga upita: “Što se dogodilo? Pripovijedaj mi!” On odvrati: “Narod je pobjegao iz boja, a mnogo je ljudi i poginulo. Mrtvi su i Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan.”
5 David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
Nato David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Kako znaš da je poginuo Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan?”
6 The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.
A mladi glasonoša odgovori: “Slučajno sam došao na goru Gilbou i vidio Šaula kako se upro u svoje koplje, a bojna kola i konjanici natisnuli se za njim.
7 When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
Šaul, obazrevši se, ugleda mene pa me zovnu, a ja mu se odazvah: 'Evo me!'
8 He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
I upita me on: 'Tko si ti?' A ja mu odgovorih: 'Amalečanin sam.'
9 He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
Tada mi on reče: 'Dođi ovamo k meni pa me ubij, jer me obuzeo smrtni grč, a duša je još sva u meni!'
10 So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
Pristupih k njemu i zadadoh mu smrtni udarac, jer sam znao da neće preživjeti nakon pada. Zatim uzeh kraljevski znak koji mu bijaše na glavi i narukvicu koju imaše na ruci i, evo, donesoh to svome gospodaru.”
11 Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.
Tada David zgrabi svoje haljine i razdrije ih, a tako i svi ljudi koji bijahu s njim.
12 They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
I naricali su, plakali i postili do večera za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom, za Jahvinim narodom i za domom Izraelovim što izginuše od mača.
13 David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
Potom David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Odakle si ti?” A on odgovori: “Ja sam sin jednoga došljaka, Amalečanina.”
14 David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
Tada mu reče David: “Kako se nisi bojao dići ruku da ubiješ pomazanika Jahvina?”
15 David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.
I dozva David jednoga od momaka i zapovjedi mu: “Dođi ovamo i smakni ga!” Udari ga momak i on umrije.
16 David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”
A David mu još doviknu: “Tvoja krv na tvoju glavu! Tvoja su usta posvjedočila protiv tebe kad si rekao: 'Ja sam ubio pomazanika Jahvina.'”
17 David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
Tada David zapjeva ovu tužaljku za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom.
18 (and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
Zapisana je u Knjizi Pravednikovoj da je uče sinovi Judini. David reče:
19 “Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
“Oh, kako ti slava pade, Izraele, izginuše div-junaci na tvom visu!
20 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
O porazu vi u Gatu ne pričajte, aškelonskim ulicama ne glasite, da se kćeri ne vesele filistejske, mlade žene da ne kliču nevjerničke.
21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
O Gilbojske gore klete, rosa na vas ne padala nit vas kiša s neba prala! Vaša polja ne vraćala rod za sjeme, jer kod vas je osramoćen štit junaka! Štit Šaulov nije bio uljem mazan,
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow did not turn back. Saul’s sword did not return empty.
nego krvlju ranjenika, mašću palih! Luk Jonate nikad nije promašio, mač Šaulov nikad bezuspješan bio!
23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
Šaul i Jonata, ljupki, ponositi, ni živi se ne rastaše, ni u smrti! Od orlova bjehu brži, od lavova snagom jači!
24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
Za Šaulom sad plačite, Izraelke, jer je u kras i u grimiz vas odijevo! Uz to zlatan nakit on je na ruho vam pričvršćivo.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.
Usred boja poginuše div-junaci! Smrt me tvoja, Jonatane, ožalosti!
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.
Žao mi je tebe, brate, Jonatane! Kako li mi drag bijaše ti veoma! Ljubav tvoja bješe meni još od ženske čudesnija.
27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
Oh, kako su izginuli div-junaci, i oružje bojno kako skršeno je!”
